About this role

THE 4 BIGGEST BLOCKCHAIN STRENGTHS ARE ALSO ITS WEAKNESS

- Permissionless nature leads to fragmentation of meaning

- Decentralization leads to too many standards https://xkcd.com/927/

- Immutability leads to exponential data + query infrastructure complexity

- Neutrality means that no one is accountable for interpretations

Blockchain data is public. It is not usable at institutional scale. Despite being open, blockchain data is fragmented, hard to interpret, and painful to maintain. Even a simple question like “Who are the largest Ethereum token holders over time?” can require running nodes, ingesting full chain history, decoding contracts, cleaning edge cases, and writing complex SQL.

BLOCKCHAINS ARE OPTIMIZED FOR WRITES, NOT READS.

They are built for consensus and execution, not searchability, standardization, or financial interpretation. Blockchains are computers, not databases https://x.com/Tim_Roughgarden/status/1512847113599729668. Every protocol defines its own schema. The same economic action can be encoded in dozens of different ways. The result:

- Fragmented standards

- Exponential complexity

- No accountability for interpretation

- Events without economic meaning

Finance cannot operate on that, it needs an effective system of record.

ALLIUM IS BUILDING THE SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR ONCHAIN FINANCE

Allium ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across 140+ blockchains and 30+ petabytes of history. We close four structural gaps that prevent blockchains from becoming systems of record:

- Semantic Gap: Translating raw events into financial concepts like payments, trades, deposits, and staking income

- Standardization Gap: Mapping thousands of protocols into a single canonical cross chain schema

- Infrastructure Gap: Read optimized, globally distributed data at web scale

- Accountability Gap: Auditable methodology, SLAs, and SOC 1 and 2 compliance

The result is a neutral, canonical data layer institutions can build on with confidence.

FINANCE IS MOVING ONCHAIN

Stablecoins, tokenized assets, trading, staking, and lending are growing rapidly. Institutions need a trusted source of truth for onchain financial activity, just as they rely on Bloomberg or DTCC in traditional markets. Raw blockchains cannot serve that role.

As AI agents begin transacting autonomously https://x.com/AlliumLabs/status/2019810793324482901?s=20, the requirement becomes even stricter. Agents cannot reason over raw event logs. They need structured data, attribution, condition checks, and auditability.

Allium is the read layer that makes onchain finance usable for humans and machines.

WHO WE SERVE

Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation:

1. Finance, Accounting, and Risk TeamsThey need reliable, audit grade answers. They rely on Allium for financial reporting, reconciliation, compliance, risk monitoring, and defensible metrics that can stand up to auditors and regulators.

2. Engineers and Product Teams They need low latency, production ready infrastructure. They use Allium to power wallets, trading systems, payment rails, staking infrastructure, and real time applications that cannot break.

3. Strategy, Research, and Executive Teams They need clarity and insight. They use Allium to understand ecosystem economics, market structure, user behavior, competitive dynamics, and where capital is flowing onchain.

and of course.. agents 🦞. Our customers and users include Visa, Stripe, G-SIB Banks, Big 4 Accounting firms, BCG, Coinbase, Phantom, Uniswap and cited by the Federal Reserve.

ROLE

We need a product focused engineer who loves to BUILD, BUILD & BUILD! The problem statement is straightforward - we have tens of thousands of data schemas integrated in 100+ different workflows today. how does one design an experience for our customers to just get their job done in this sea of data? how does one design the right primitives that come intuitively to them?

QUALITIES

- do you love to build?

- do you have (some) taste?

- do you get joy from permuting and trying every combination of UI, Workflow and layout to get that perfect screen transition for the user?

- do you get annoyed when something on an app just feels that little bit off?

- do you get joy from users raving about how your product makes them feel special?

- do you have an inner diva that critiques all things design, but yet (somehow) have the humility to know that nothing's perfect?

- do you love lego? or the idea that building workflows should be as simple as stacking lego bricks?

- do you love helping users get their job done?

WHAT SOME ~COOL PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US:

- The Information's Top 50 Startups (https://www.allium.so/post/allium-named-to-the-informations-50-most-promising-startups-of-2025)

- Bucky Moore from Kleiner Perkins: https://www.kleinerperkins.com/perspectives/allium-series-a/

OK.. NOW FOR SOME TOUGH LOVE, HERE ARE THE VALUES WE STRIVE FOR AT ALLIUM:

- Obsessiveness - The best people at Allium cannot put a problem down once they pick it up. We care more about the work than is strictly rational. Institutions trust us because our data is right. Right means caring about the small things. The decoded contract that ships with one wrong field. The label that is 99% accurate but wrong on the address that matters.
